New case, COOL feature

[whrswoldo]

I just received my new case-to-be, this one , and let me just say this is one of the best deals i've seen in a while. I am coming from a Coolermaster ATC that cost at least %50 more.

There were a couple of features I thought were noteworthy,
1) It is black aluminum. ALL black aluminum, including the inside.
2) Has 3 windows. (on top and both sides)
3) The wires for USB and powe/reset/leds etc all have an inline quick release for use in conjunction with the removable mobo tray. Pictures of this

here and

here.
The case is branded "Super Flower."
I have pics of the case too if anyone wants.

Has anyone seen these features on a case before? I would think the quick release wires should be pretty standard.

Lian Li cases have that same thing.

"upgrade" from a cooler master to that? WHY?!

i will stick with my cooler master until it falls appart, and i think that will be a while since its built like a tank.

if you wanted a side window why not buy one of those pre modded chieftec/antec side panels?

I'm afraid I have to agree. Even if aesthetically you like it more, I would still take build quality, and better cooling any day.

Heh I have the 201 model. This case gets waay better temps than my old case did (I had some POS before). However, it makes wiring a bitch because you can't hide anything behind the tray (3 windows). I still love it though, premod or not. I'm thinking about cutting a 92mm fanhole on the window by the mobo tray and then tinting all three windows.

Im also going to have to disagree. Things I DON'T like about my Coolermaster:
*No front headphone/mic jacks
*The stupid USB cover always snaps closed on wires and sometimes scares me
*I have to disconnect all the usb/power/reset etc. wires when I pull out the "removable" mobo tray
*The front panel, which is held on by little allen head screws, seems to be stripped and the little screws don't thread in and fall out.

I will say it is alot lighter than the generic antec style steel cases that alot of my friends have, and the cooling is indeed excellent.

Anyways if anyone was considering a case along the lines of Coolermaster/Lian-Li I just thought I'd point this one out to them, the build quality is comarable to the two (Possibly same base manufacturer as Lian-Li?) and its a bit cheaper. That and it took <24 hours to get here(Austin)

I'll be posting my rig once I get all the wires straightened out, assuming I ever get my sleeving from SVC. Why aren't they based 3 hours away?!?

It's isn't the greatest thing ever, but it's pretty neat.

i made it so that i can "quick disconnect" my wires if i ever need to, just buy some of those quick disconnects from radio shack and snip your stock wires and put those in there

and front sound is one of the easiest things to add to any case, so i would not seek it out if i was looking for a new case

ive got a super flower case- its quality!
build quality is much better than the coolermaster case one of my mates ordered- he ended up sending it back cos it was a load of crap. And my superflower case cost me half as much . . . lots of fan space, loads of room inside and looks really cool. OK so they might not be a big name brand like Lian Li or Chieftec but they are certainly up there in terms of build quality and ruggedness.

i have a sf-201 as well.. got it a long time ago too, I love it, the extra features, lightweight aluminum, windows, power/blue led's, removable mobo tray, etc, etc. and YES its a premod. I live in an apartment and I can NOT do mod work, theres just no room.. I even have a old beige pc that I'm waiting to mod once I get a house.. I think it's ok to buy premods if you want a nice looking pc but can't do the mods yourself for whatever reason.
